Huang Hanchang’s calligraphy of the Book of Changes
The calligraphy work "The Sea Accepts All Rivers" by the famous I Ching calligrapher and painter Mr. Huang Hanchang contains profound dragon culture.
The entire calligraphy work is completed with the technique of painting. The strokes are drawn from left to right, and the movement is moved from right to left. The spirit is used to take the form and the form is conveyed to achieve the artistic conception of yin and yang embracing each other and the unity of nature and man. There is no way to follow the instructions, and the work can be completed in one go, like a dragon swimming in the sea. The dragon's head is held high and its mouth is pointed toward the sky. More than 2,000 years ago, Qu Yuan wrote in "Heavenly Questions" "The river and the sea are Yinglong? Where do they end?" (How does Yinglong draw the earth with its tail, and how does the river and sea flow smoothly?). The author uses the four words "The sea embraces all rivers". Zi gave Qu Zi a good answer. With this kind of mind that can accommodate the world, no matter Confucianism, Taoism, Legalism, military strategists, businessmen...all can get useful inspiration from it. Those who are in politics will have a mind that is open to all rivers, and they will surely prosper. Those who are in business, and those who are in business If you have a mind that embraces all rivers, your business will be prosperous and your wealth will be abundant.
The dragon is the totem of the Chinese nation. Mr. Wen Yiduo said in "Fuxi Kao": The dragon totem is "a virtual creature that only exists in totems and does not exist in the biological world. Because it is a complex made up of many different totems." The dragon is composed of nine animal totems, including antlers, ox's mouth, camel's head, eyes, snake's body, tiger's beard, crocodile's legs, eagle's claws, and fish's tail. Its shape itself is the product of embracing all rivers.
This calligraphy work contains the four concepts of the dragon that are most valued by the Chinese nation: the universe view of the unity of nature and man, the intersubjective view of benevolence and love for others, the development view of yin and yang, and the inclusive pluralism. cultural outlook. It also fully reflects that the descendants of the dragon follow the dragon's philosophy when dealing with the ideal goals and values in the relationship between these four major subjects. That is to constantly pursue the harmony of the relationship between heaven and man, the harmony of interpersonal relationships, the harmony of the contradictions of yin and yang, and the harmony of multicultural relationships. At the same time, we also advocate the dragon spirit of diversity, integration, and comprehensive innovation.
The divine nature of the dragon is water-loving, good at flying, reaching the sky, fickle, supernatural, auspicious, and auspicious. Because water flows to the earth and the dragon flies to the sky, the dragon has the ability to communicate with heaven and earth. Dragons are fickle (in the sky they are lightning, rainbows, and clouds; on the ground they are cattle, camels, and deer; in the water they are fish, snakes, and crocodiles). . No wonder collectors reported that when this book was hung in the hall, it would naturally sway, giving the impression of a dragon traveling through the nine heavens. It really has the momentum of the Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu's "Danqing Yin·Gift to General Cao" "The presence of the nine-fold true dragon here will wash away all the emptiness of all eternity".
